Niqabitch

Two young French muslim women decided to protest the recent French ban against wearing veils that cover the face, by walking around Paris in Niquab veil and ..... mini-skirt. Creating quite a stir

The sight of two young Muslim women parading through Paris wearing niqabs and mini skirts has simultaneously upset and delighted passersby.

They were protesting at France's burqa ban, as an attack on what people could wear in public.

The duo, calling themselves Niqabitch, said on site rue89: "We're not looking to attack or degrade the image of Muslims, everyone has their thing.

"The point that has angered us, beyond the general injustice of this law, is the hypocrisy of all those MPs wrapping themselves in the sacred flag of feminism under the pretext of defending the rights of women.

"That's great for them, thanks. But do we really need to ban the burqa to remind people that it's against the law to force people to do things against their will?

"Telling us what we can wear now becomes the role of the state, as if they don't have anything better to do."

They added: "The public seemed to like the look. The police were a partly annoyed, partly enthusiastic, and the fireman honked at us."
